Outcomes of carotid angioplasty and stenting for radiation-associated stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In light of their high surgical risk, carotid angioplasty and stent placement may be preferred in patients with radiation-associated carotid stenosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the procedural complication rate, patency, and clinical outcomes after carotid angioplasty and stent placement in this small group of high-risk patients. METHODS Sixteen patients...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملEvaluation of carotid angioplasty and stenting for radiation-induced carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the procedural safety, clinical, and angiographic outcome of carotid angioplasty and stenting for high-grade (≥70%) radiation-induced carotid stenosis (RIS) using atherosclerotic stenosis (AS) as a control. METHODS In this 6-year prospective nonrandomized study, we compared the carotid angioplasty and stenting outcome of 65 consecutive patients (84 ...
متن کاملANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING OF CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS WITH EMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICES
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by some clinicians. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the success rate and in-hospital and 30-day adverse events in our first experiences in Iran for CAS with protection devices, to document our results and guide further use of CAS. Methods: From December 2...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty with stenting and carotid endarterectomy for high-risk patients.
Endarterectomy for High-Risk Patients To the Editor: I have read with interest the article by Fox et al1 with regard to carotid angioplasty and stenting. I feel that the article might be a further contribution toward evaluating this procedure. Despite the limited experience on 42 cases of symptomatic carotid stenosis, the article is important particularly because it shows the long-term results ...
